From the foregoing it will be seen, contrary to the general belief, that Phil adelphia is absolutely and that Boston is relatively the most Celtic of American cities. The population of New York is, in round numbers, 1,300, QUO, Ph ladel- phia 900, ,000. Chicago 700, ,000, and Bos- ton 400 ,000. Philadelphia, about one third less in population than New ' orl, has fifteen more columns of Celtic names; but Boston, in proportion to it's populat on, is the most Celtic of all. If New York were as Celtic as Boston its directory would have about 550 columns of O's, Macs, Sullivans and Murphys, instead of 204; and if it were as propor- tionatcly Celtic as Philadelphia it's di- rectory would contain about 300 instead of 204 columns of the Celtic names men, toned. Chicago is relatively and ab- solutely the least Celtic of the four cit ies. It is about as populous and half as Boston, but its directory contains only 112 columns of the prominent Gel tic name against 152 in the Boston di- rectory. We use the term Celtic instead of Irish, because considerable minority of the names beginning with Mac are Scotch rather than Irish. Boston, then, is in proportion to its population the most Celtic and the most Irish city in America.
 The case of Philadelphia is curious. It is said to contain a smaller foreign born population than any of the great cities of America, and this is probably so; vet, with the exception of Boston. it is relatively the most Celt of the four cities. This is explained by the fact that long ago-as far back as the time when what are now known as the United States were British colonies-there was vast tide of emigration from Ireland to this country, anI the greater part of it was directed to Pennsylvania The difference between the Irish element in Boston and Philadelphia is that in the former city it is new and in the latter it is old.
 When one remembers that the pre- fixes O and Mac have been dropped in very nearly half the names that orig finally had them, and also that about fifty per cent. of Irish names have been either translated or so changed that it takes some one even more trained than a savant to recognize them in the mu- tilated American forms, he is astonished at the immensity of the Irish element in America, and marvels how it came to pass that the million and quarter of people that Ireland contained only two hundred years ago have grown to an in- conceivable multitude that have spread absolutely over half the earth.- Chicago Citizen.

Macs, O's, Murphys and Sullivans Residing
 in Our Four Principal Cities.
 The relative numbers of Celtic inhab- itants in the four principal cities of the Union must be matter of interest to every Irish nationalist To find out such matter with absolute certainty would be well nigh impossible; but by means of the directories of the cities, about the Celtic population of winch we desire to speak, very close approx imation can be made as to the Irish element they conta n. We had recently an opportunity of examining the direct ories of the four principal American citics-New York, Philadelphia, Chica- go, and Boston-and took the trouble to count the number of columns of each directory that contained the mo>t common and numerous Irish names, and the results are very interest ing. It will invariably be found that whenever there are the most O's and Macs, and the most Murphys and Sullivans. there is the largest Irish population; for the names Murphy and Sullivan, and names which begin with o and Mac, are the most numerous among the Celtic race. The prefix o should, by right, be retained before the names Sullivan and Murphy, but in most cases it has been discarded.
 The number of names in the columns of the directories of the four cities men, toned is very nearly the same and will average about eighty. The following table gives the number of O's and Macs, Sullivan and Murphys in the four cities mentioned.

railroad at that place.
We venture the suggestion that the
people of our village may have reason
in the near future to congratulate
themselves because of stranger com

this belief from the fact that J. F.
Goldsworthy started on Friday last for
a visit in Iowa. Such trip sometimes
means matrimony and if it does in
this case we bid her welcome, Joe.
Many of our towns people went to
Cobb to help celebrate on the 4th.
Notwithstanding disagreeable weather
all report having had a good time.
Even the drenching rain could not
dampen their patriotic zeal.
Our people as usual held celebra
ton on the 9Th. We are so intensely
patriotic here that we believe in help
ing everybody else to celebrate on the
4th, and then invite everybody to help
us on the 9Th. We are constrained
from the facts to commend the con-
duct of all parties on the grounds; and
we wish especially to approve of the
behavior OF those from adjoining
towns. At about one o'clock in the
afternoon the crowd began to assemble
on the grounds, and about two o'clock
the regular exercises according to the
programme, were begun with music
by the Linden and Highland bands.

After prayer Rev. c. c. Swartz deliv

and patriotic and served to instruct as
well as to interest. The questions re-
lating to pauper immigration and tenn
perance were plainly and emphatically
dealt with. If we could get such talk
and such sentiment in our law making
bodies both state and national, we be-
lieve it would have wholesome effect.
After the Grafton the base ball games
were next in order. The Linden and
the Mitfiin clubs played the first five
innings, the score standing Is to 5, in
favor of Linden. Livingston and Min
eral Point next played five innings,
the score standing 16 to Z, in favor of
Livingston. Next the winning clubs
Linden and Livingston played seven
innings for purse of $4,000, the score
standing 10 to in favor of Linden.
